Reply To: Taking Large Items Of Disability Equipment On Trains
Hi,
One great way to move luggage around while in Japan is via the great luggage forwarding system (https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2278.html). For under 20$ you can send quite large pieces of luggage, foldable wheelchairs, and other bits and pieces directly from one hotel to another. This can save a lot of hassle since lugging things through busy train stations is never fun. One thing to note is that this typically takes 24 hours so you would be without any sent luggage for one night.
Hope this helps!
